Abstract
The frontispiece of Coleman's latest book is, appropriately enough, an illustration of that iconoclast, writer, humorist and collector of all manner of unexplained oddities, Charles Fort. This is truly a Fortean book, filled with an assortment of enigmas guaranteed to stimulate the brain cells of armchair explorers and anyone else willing to admit that there may still be some unknowns and unknowables lurking in the shadows of this vast American continent.
